Sadness is a part of life and no one can escape it in the ups and downs of life. One may get depressed due to various unfavorable conditions of life like the death of some loved one, divorce, financial crisis, serious illness etc. But sadness is usually short-term and get healed with passing time. When this sadness continues for long-term or someone persistently remains in a depressed mood, it can be “major depressive disorder”.

Reaching out to your nearest psychiatrist is the best solution to design the pathway for treatment of major depressive disorder.
